Bonnie Kent pointed me to this UCI website which records a whole bunch of stats about diversity in the profession. Here are just four tables that should be of some interest, and again hopefully something that I’ll comment on more down the track.

The general trend in most fields, both in humanities and mathematics, is for the % of tenured women to go up over recent years. But philosophy has stagnated. This is not good.
